More recently, trimming strands from shorts. Trying ever so hard to find uses for scissors...!

needed to silence a door. part of the bottom was scraping with the frame and I used the file to grind it down.

Used the Crunch with the tool extender as a screwdriver to hang up a few pictures

Haven't used the bit extender in the Crunch, yet. I would think the connection in the tool with the bit extender would be a bit dodgy. How did it work out for you?

It works fine for me, but to be honest, this was a reasonably light job.

The bit extender and bit set are used with the Crunch, a Wave and a Skeletool and come in handy for a variety of odd jobs that can be done within the time it would take me to get "the proper tool" from my tool chest

But if the job at hand requires a lot of torque, I will usually use another tool

Trying out the hack saw using the pin vise. works pretty well, would not want to have to cut a bunch but in a pinch it works !!!

I needed a quick knife re profile

GNandGS · **Reply #39 on:** October 28, 2012, 09:42:04 AM

Borrowed one of those PowerWheels type of cars for toddlers and after fixing a couple of things I got the remote for it... the remote didn't work.

Just like the one we already had the batteries had leaked and mucked things up pretty good so I got it apart and a bit of cleaning on contacts it was good to go power wise. The antenna was missing/broken.

Bent the mounting tab back in place and globbed some solder to a long paper clip covered in some flexible sheath thing I had lying about. The snipped portion of a screw anchor took up the slack.

Oh, leatherman? Came in handy for the cutting tasks.

I used my Charge TTi today to

Straighten the wick of a burning candle.
Repair my home coffee roaster.
Put up storm windows for the coming winter season.

Nothing except for opening and closing (play with) them for hours on end as i watch TV and sit at the computer. I find that so addictive

One of my favorite things to do as well on a nothing better to do day.

I was holding my ST300 telling it how good its been and then I sharpen the knives.

Bensasupertool · **Reply #44 on:** October 29, 2012, 10:51:05 PM

Used the ST300's awl to make another hole in the belt. First use on leather and was very happy with the result. im fading away.

Used my new Style CS to cut gaff tape today on a tripod I needed to take offsite for a video shoot.

Sorry, no pics. This weekend I used my Black Oxide Wave to open several beers, scrape old team stickers off of football helmets, and used the scissors to trim my sons mouthguard several times to improve comfort. We won the championship!

stealth007s · **Reply #47 on:** December 17, 2012, 05:05:25 AM

Been a day or two since this thread has had a visit but I used my PST to disassemble cigar boxes. I'm using the lids to make a wall on my back porch. I'll burn the bottoms in the chiminea this week while I sit outside an smoke in the evenings.

doctorz · **Reply #48 on:** December 17, 2012, 05:28:16 AM

Use my surge to pry off a ubolt from my exhaust, the cuter makes a good job ( fourth gen head pliers)

badwolf · **Reply #49 on:** December 17, 2012, 09:47:40 PM

I used the flat screw driver on my LM XE6 to change a UK mains plug, the drivers could do with being a little bit longer as the UK plug has three pins the tool catches on them

KDX · **Reply #50 on:** December 18, 2012, 07:59:22 AM

I received my S2 in the mail today (very happy with it) and used the scissors to trim my mustache a little bit. Pretty dull day.

trouthunter · **Reply #51 on:** December 18, 2012, 06:24:25 PM

I used my Japanese PST to open my new Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.

Which ones did you get trout?¿?

Used my Juice XE6 to cut and bend a makeshift eyeglass hinge because my coworker had the screw fall out on her.

Used my PS4 to slice open Christmas packages.

With my Skeletool CX - Cut ribbon and packing tape to help open a couple of gifts this morning then tightened some nuts on 2 Ikea wall cupboards we put up tonight.

Used a LM Crunch to swap the plier head from a Supertool 300 into a Surge. The locking plier function is a bit like having an extra hand (one that can grip really, really hard

)
